glad to hear it,

but charles doing it at an event doesnt really count as to getting many to chat if that the measurement.

because,

1. surely mostly who will be there are those of who's country is playing.
2. not all people are watching this, not because they dont want to simply i for example if i didnt check the schedule and such stuff or even if it was advertise here on the general board or announcement board i didnt get quite the feel the excitement or idea when it wll be
3. time problem? you know when asia is sleeping the americans and the euro are awake?

what is best is to get a general room, wherein anytime we can join in at anytime of the day and there interact.

Sounds good. Although I also think trying a general chatroom could be cool too.

I think it would be fun if there's a chatbox in live games.

I think a chat could be very beneficial for newer players to get to ask questions and even for the more experienced players to discuss tactics and try and figure out how this game works. From games i have played in the past they have used NetGamers http://www.netgamers.org/. On Netgamers you can register a nick and a room such as #Buzzerbeater, they provide you with a bot who only gives Ops to those the founders have given permission to so the room itself can be very secure even if non of the admins are present.

I agree a built in chat would be easier for people but I also know games such as Planetarion have a link built into their toolbar which opens a browser window using java that brings users directly to the main room maybe something like that would be possible?

i like the idea and GM-oueftete linked me to one the other night when the BB3 games were on.

I think it would only work if the BB's wanted to actively promote it and if the right people were there to make sure that the content was positive for all involved.

I would gladly put my name in the hat to assist both the promotion and to look in frequently to ensure all is in order.

Can an unofficial external chat room be opened by someone more technical than me that has the backing of the BB's so that we can trial it.

If this is coupled by a news release then we can at least see who/how many would actually get involved.

Ricey mentioned what i would consider to be the focal points for the room to incorporate, the idea of a place to hang-out and watch games is also good.... i guess the idea needs to evolve before something full bloodied can come from it.

Shall we put it to the test?

No, if your not online at a specific time, you miss all the great discussion, lets stick to the forum.
